"As for the next course of action, I intend to start with the establishment of a propaganda organization to publish newspapers and periodicals to propagate the truth to the people and to awaken them with their teachings."

In the grand and spacious Georgiev Hall, Mavi stood on the stage and told his plan.

The people who were able to participate in this conference were all elites personally selected by Katerina, and in Katerina's eyes, these people could definitely be trusted.

Although there are sons of military nobles such as Ruorugin and Goffman, they are even more loyal than other generals because they have already chosen Katerina.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that someone in it secretly had an affair with Paul I, and it is not surprising that the military nobles who bet on both ends did anything.

In this case, Ma Wei still said the next development plan of the Church of Truth, he is not afraid of ghosts, because some things cannot be hidden, the development and expansion of the Church of Truth is all conspiracy, and its purpose is to force the Church of Wisdom to compete with doctrines.

"What if the King's side forbids the distribution of Pravda?" Someone in the audience asked, "This is the power of the king, and he has the right to prohibit the publication of any newspaper." ”

"Wouldn't that be better?"

"What?" The man looked at Ma Wei in confusion.

Ma Wei explained with a smile: "The more you hide something, the more you are afraid of what those in power, and suppressing the people's right to speak freely is the way to self-destruction." ”

Letting go of Yunia's little hand, Mavi walked slowly around the stage, his voice echoing through the hall, and everyone could hear his words clearly: "The uneducated and enlightened people, many people think they are ignorant, and it is also true, it takes a long time to awaken them, but it is not without shortcuts. ”

"This shortcut, in fact, has already appeared in front of us, that is, serfdom, which has accumulated for a long time."

"There were tens of millions of serfs in the Romanov kingdom, these people lived in dire straits, maybe they did not understand the truth, but they must understand what good it was for them to abolish serfdom .... The restoration of freedom is the dream of every serf, which means that they no longer have to pay heavy taxes to the farmer, and they are no longer exploited by the farmer...."

There was a faint commotion in the audience, the generals who could participate in this meeting were all nobles, and there were more or less serfs in their family property, and Ma Wei's words had actually touched their interests.

But....

The abolition of serfdom has always been Peter the Great's last wish, and Katerina has long told them about it, and the generals who cannot accept it will not choose to follow Katerina.

Serfs were indeed their private property, but they were not incapable of giving up.

Especially compared with the fruits of victory in the future, what is there to worry about giving up a few serfs?

The commotion quickly subsided, and no one raised objections, all waiting for Ma Wei to say his next step.

"As long as the first issue of Pravda is successful, then the news of the Truth Church and Her Highness Katerina's call for the abolition of serfdom will spread rapidly, what will the serfs think?"

"They must be thinking, 'Ah, it's really great, can we finally be free?' The Church of Truth and Her Highness Katerina must succeed or something..."

"In this case, if King Paul I ordered the ban of the Pravda press, then what should these serfs think? Will they have a grudge against King Paul I in their hearts? ”

"When the seeds of suspicion are planted, the charges are established."

"At this time, the Church of Truth will send monks to various cities to establish branch churches and spread the truth again, and those who have heard the name of the Church of Truth will definitely pay attention to our every move."

"In the next step, Her Royal Highness Katerina will use her ability to propose a series of laws in the Senate, including but not limited to the Labor Law, Education Law, Medical Care Law, Labor Safety and Security Law, and a series of policies that are beneficial to ordinary people."

Ma Wei looked at Katerina, who was standing aside: "I think this is also part of His Highness's reform." ”

"That's right." Katerina nodded: "If you want a rich country, the first priority is workers and education." ”

"If nothing else, these laws will not be passed, after all, the interests of too many nobles have been touched." Mavi continued: "At the same time that Her Highness Katerina proposes these edicts, the local church branches should publicize these edicts and tell the people that the dawn is coming, and soon everyone will be able to enjoy better treatment, and no longer have to pay the price of their lives for some meager wages...."

"Oh!" Onufuri, who was standing in the audience, was a little surprised and said: "If the news of the passage of the law does not spread, will the people, who have already conceived of a better life, have even greater resentment against the king and the aristocratic class?" ”

Ma Wei nodded: "Yes, this is in line with the objective development law of things. ”

"What if the Senate passes these laws?" Lovell asked.

"Then we can proclaim that all this is the credit of Her Highness Katerina, after all, she is the one who proposes the law, and the people will have high hopes for her." Ma Wei said with a smile: "The interests sacrificed by the nobles can only survive and delay time, but they cannot really change their lives against the sky, because in the future grand plan conceived by the Church of Truth and Her Royal Highness Katerina, the aristocratic class does not exist, or... The aristocracy, left over from the reforms, became an honorary title and could no longer do whatever they wanted as before. ”

"If those nobles unconditionally accept the law proposed by Her Highness Katerina, what difference is there between killing them?"

"The reason why things have developed to this point is because they are not willing to sacrifice their own interests.... The contradictions between the aristocracy and the people are getting deeper and deeper, and sooner or later they will erupt, and the Church of Truth is to awaken their anger of rebellion, unite the people, and overthrow the rotten old era. ”

"No matter how strong the aristocratic faction is, it can't resist tens of millions of people, if they choose to suppress it by force, then they are drinking to quench their thirst, adding fuel to this fire, and the power of resistance will become more and more fierce."

Ma Wei looked at the many generals in the audience and said expressionlessly: "I hope you remember one thing, when the decaying old era is destined to be overthrown, the use of armed suppression will only make the fate of oneself more tragic after defeat, the blood shed by the people must be repaid at the price of blood, peaceful reform, there is still a way to live." ”

The generals looked at each other, they didn't have any opinion on the plan proposed by Ma Wei, the cause and effect have been clearly explained, they who chose to stand here today are all smart people, they know when to make what kind of choice....

And Ma Wei's words are also a knock on what may exist among them.... Inner ghosts.

Or something else.

"Okay, that's all for today, I'll find someone to be in charge of the establishment of the newspaper."

Katerina dispersed the thoughtful generals, and when they were gone, she called Bodlinov and said to Mavi: "Father, I heard that you plan to set up an organization called the Aurora Society to fight against dangerous transcendent beings?" ”

"Well, although the Aurora Club is still in its infancy, it will be working normally soon." Ma Wei admitted it calmly.

"It just so happens that I'm also going to set up a special intelligence agency." Katerina pointed to Bodlinov next to her: "Let him be responsible." ”

"Special intelligence agencies?" Ma Wei frowned: "What do you want to do?" ”

"If the Romanov Kingdom promotes the truth and takes the Church of Truth as the state religion, then it will definitely attract the exclusion and oppression of other kingdoms, which is beyond doubt." Katerina said: "I set up this special intelligence agency to capture spies from other kingdoms, and at the same time collect information and intelligence from other kingdoms. ”

Sounds familiar....

Ma Wei looked at Katerina's dark blue eyes, and said word by word: "Your Highness, you told me this, you should have asked me for help." ”

"That's right, this special intelligence agency, I want to use the power of the Cat Legion, they are the most well-informed, and it would be great if they could cooperate with Bodlinov."

"Isn't it enough to have a policeman?"

"It's for the sake of the big picture, Father, will you support me?"

“.... Since you have decided, Your Highness, then I will naturally support you. ”

"Good." Katerina smiled: "Priest, I think our relationship is getting closer and closer. ”

Intimacy....

Is that really the case?

Ma Wei's face was silent, but he already had a premonition of a possible situation in the future.

Church, Kingdom, and Interracial .....

Separation.
